It's more like Islam is a teenager. And Christianity is middle age.
When Christianity was young, as Islam is today, we called it "The Dark Ages".
I watched the exchange between Affleck and Harris several times, and I have yet to hear anything racist or bigoted from Harris. Criticizing ideas is not bigoted.
I love when Kristol makes Harris' point for him by listing a few Muslims that are heroic for speaking out against Islam extremism.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
